Refuge for the Outlaw When Tex Beckett arrives at Ravena Reid s farm, he s eight years too late for the elopement they d once planned—and it s far too early to win her forgiveness. He s seriously wounded, though, and she can t turn him away, though she knows better than to trust him. Yes, it s wonderful having help with the farm, and with the orphans she fosters, but if she opens her heart, she ll get hurt again when he leaves. And Tex always leaves. As a notorious bank robber, Tex is used to danger. Yet reuniting with the only woman he s ever loved is the riskiest thing he s ever done. All he wants is to stay with Ravena and the children. But can he build a new start before his past catches up with him?
